House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington is in informal talks with Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham about a second reconciliation bill to fund the Pentagon and potentially DHS. This may be the only viable path for Republicans, with DHS talks stalled and a defense supplemental in limbo. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has called funding DHS via reconciliation an "option". Graham is also open to adding DHS funding to any reconciliation bill. However, President Trump has urged Republicans not to settle, stating he has a bigger agenda. The window for passing a reconciliation bill is closing, with Arrington stating that it must have offsets in savings.
